“But we’ll be back, and I promise that.”
One line, one quote from quarterback J.J. McCarthy laid the groundwork for the 2023 season.
McCarthy was disappointed after the Wolverines’ loss to TCU in last season’s College Football Playoff, but he was already focused on the next season. Little did he know how right he would be.
McCarthy was always set to be the Wolverines’ quarterback in 2023, as he was just finishing his sophomore year, but other players had big decision to make. Michigan’s top offensive lineman, right guard Zak Zinter, could have easily have left for the NFL.
